credits. fade to black to people in arizona after the neighboring state recently enacted a near-total ban on the procedure. governor newsom pushing a bill that would welcome those seeking abortions and their doctors. >> president biden signs a bill that could ban tiktok. we talk live with an expert about what's next. >> also, restaurants filling up in san francisco. and it's all for a good cause. we're live with the mission behind dining out for life and we'll tell you how you can help. >> from ktvu fox two news. this is the four. >> we've seen the cost in terms of not only quality of life, economic costs, but we've seen the medical costs. we've seen the damage it has done to women, their bodies, as jen said, their
4:01 pm
life and their futures and we're seeing that. >> governor newsom promising support to those in neighboring arizona seeking an abortion today he announced legislation that would allow arizona doctors to perform the procedure for arizona residents here in california. welcome, everyone to the four this afternoon. i'm alex savage and i'm heather holmes. >> this comes after that controversial ruling by the arizona supreme court earlier this month, upholding a 160 year old near-total ban on abortions. >> ktvu jana katsuyama. joining us now live from our newsroom to explain how this california bill would work if it passes the state legislature. jenna. >> alex and heather. state senator nancy skinner from right here in berkeley is a coauthor of this bill. it is sb 233. senator skinner said. it is still being fine tuned in partnership with governor newsom, the california medical board and other partners. this bill would apply only to licensed doctors in good standing in arizona. the bill would provide temporary
4:02 pm
clearance for them to perform procedures at clinics in california. california lawmakers say the goal is to try and help support arizona women coming to california for abortion procedures. the arizona supreme court, as you mentioned, ruled on april 9th in support of an 1864 law banning all abortions except when the mother's life is in jeopardy. >> we will be a safe haven so that arizonans do not have to carry an unplanned, unwanted or health endangering pregnancy. and our arizona sisters can come to california to get the health care that they need from their own doctors. >> we're trying to get ahead of this law, which goes into effect on june 8th, and we are advancing a reciprocity frame that would allow the ability for those health care providers in good standing in arizona to be able to provide that basic care to patients fleeing the state, serving and the bill's medical
4:03 pm
clearance for those arizona doctors would just be temporary. >> it would last only through the end of november under this bill. >> all right. so, janet, now that this bill has been introduced here in california, what are the next steps? >> well, arizona's law is expected to take effect on june 8th, as you heard. so state senator skinner says that they are hoping to get this passed as quickly as possible. hopefully before that date it would need a two thirds majority in both houses. the governor, newsom, says if it passes, he will sign it immediately and it would take effect immediately. >> okay, so, jana, have local organizations weighed in on this? >> well, there is certainly quite an array of different groups there today. at the news conference, we did talk with planned parenthood of northern california. they shared their thoughts on this proposal, as well as how they're preparing for a possible surge of patients. we'll have that coming up later in the 5:00 news. all right. >> looking forward to that part of the story. story jana katsuyama live in the newsroom. jana. thank you. >> okay. joining us now live to
4:04 pm
talk more about the proposed legislation here in california is jessica levinson. loyola law school professor. osa. appreciate your time. professor. do you see any issues, any legal challenges to what governor newsom is wanting to do to providing protection to arizona doctors here in california? >> so licensing is something that is typically left up to the states. and i think what we would see here is that california obviously is saying we're going to allow you some reciprocity. it's not the federal government saying something like arizona, you are losing your licensing. so i think that california would have the power to do this. there's then a small question about traveling to obtain an abortion and whether or not arizona would then try and take the additional step of punishing people for traveling. i don't think that that would happen either. so i think that california is on strong footing when it comes legally to this proposal. >> all right. so i guess the other question is, is sort of how this legislation would play out here in california, considering what's happening on
4:05 pm
the ground in arizona. we obviously know the california bill is in response to arizona's supreme court upholding this near-total ban on abortion. but but just today, lawmakers in arizona's house voted to repeal that ban. of course, it still needs to pass the senate if arizona repeals its near-total abortion ban, would california still move forward, do you think with this legislation, i don't know if they would. >> it seems to me like this is also a political position that the governor newsom has staked out, saying that we will be a safe haven, and this bill is part of that position of saying that we are very different from places like arizona, where a place where you can exercise your rights for reproductive choice. so it seems to me like even if arizona does repeal this, there's some at least political sense in keeping the momentum behind this bill going. and of course, with arizona, it's not a done deal. as you said, it still has to pass the senate that the repeal would
4:06 pm
actually go into effect. i think politically, what people dona or republicans are in arizona are hoping for is to take this off the table for the 2024 election because, frankly, abortion does get people to the polls. and those people are typically democrats, women and independents. >> i know that you said that you believe that this legislation being proposed here in california is on firm legal standing, but what about any concerns about potential liability? does that become a factor? >> so it does become a factor. but i think that you could deal with that the same way you deal with any sort of licensing and liability in the sense that you could deal with doctor malpractice, now, are there always kind of devil in the details that we aren't thinking about in terms of liability? and what would happen in you know, potentially and hopefully very rare bad outcomes? yes. but again, if you license doctors to perform abortions in one state, then those doctors are dealing
4:07 pm
with liability issues. and so i think you can deal with the same issues in a different state. all right. >> so we will see how this legislation plays out in the california legislature. while we have you, jessica, we want to ask you about what happened at the us supreme court. once again, the high court taking up the issue of abortion earlier today, hearing arguments about the law in idaho that bans abortion unless a mother's life is in danger. the justices today were focused on the question of whether federal law should allow doctors to perform emergency abortions in states with near-total bans on the procedure, and they appeared to be split on this question. what did that divide look like? >> it looks like pretty close to the typical conservative 6 to 3 divide that we've been seeing in a lot of cases. i do want to caution people that this is and you laid it out very quickly. this is a question of a matchup between federal law and state law and whether there is truly a conflict. very briefly, the federal law says if somebody shows up to an emergency room
4:08 pm
and they need treatment, you have to give them, quote, stabilizing treatment, whereas the state law says no abortions unless you are actually in immediate. and i'm paraphrasing a little bit, but immediate risk of death and so obviously we can see there's a potential conflict there. and in terms of where i think the justices are going, you saw the three liberal justices clearly saying we see a conflict. idaho should not be able to do this. that state law has to give way to the federal law when it comes to the more conservative jurists, i think we potentially have the chief justice and justice. amy coney barrett, kind of in the middle. that's where we really need to look to see how they're going to vote. and then the conservative wing of the conservative party, i think being comfortable with allowing states to make these decisions and not wanting the federal government to be in the business of, frankly, kind of being in this lane of telling states when they can and can't outlaw abortions. >> all right. so now we look
4:09 pm
look ahead here to another important ruling on abortion from the nation's highest court. we appreciate your perspective. jessica levinson, loyola marymount school of law. good to see you. thank you. thank you. >> well, over the last few weeks here on the floor, we have been raising awareness about sexual assault and prevention. and today, law enforcement officials in san francisco are wearing denim in solidarity with sexual assault victims. denim day began 25 years ago and is observed on the last wednesday of april, which is sexual assault awareness month. today police chief bill scott and district attorney brooke jenkins recognized all the prosecutors and investigators who have dedicated their careers to supporting survivors to all of you who do this work, we honor you. >> we thank you. i know how mentally draining it is, how emotionally and psychologically draining it is. >> it's a day to stand together. it's a day to affirm that there is no excuse for sexual violence , no matter what a person is wearing. years ago, they were
4:10 pm
about the origin of denim. >> day dates back to a 1992 court case in italy. the rape case was overturned because a judge said the victim was wearing tight jeans and therefore must have helped her attacker take them off. officials say currently, more than half of women and 1 in 3 men have experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. >> all right. we turn to our weather here in the bay area. and it was another cool, gray day here across much of the bay area. a live look at the oakland estuary and the san francisco skyline there in the background, we have really sort of shifted things, compared to earlier on in the week when we saw a lot of sunshine and warmer temperatures here and rosemary, is there a chance for some showers, some drizzle kind of in in the next few days? >> absolutely, alex, we do have that coming our way in the next a couple of days. and then for the weekend we're going to dry things out and warm things up just a little bit outside our doors at this hour. another cool one. as alex mentioned a moment
4:11 pm
ago, partly sunny skies across the bay area. patchy drizzle and as we roll into tomorrow, only subtle changes coming our way right now. the onshore breeze at fairfield, a 15mph. oakland reporting ten. napa reporting 12 hour temperatures, a very much right where we should be for our inland cities. but along the coast and around the bay, a cool day and right now we are very similar to where we were yesterday. at this time, santa rosa, you are up by four degrees or so. temperatures in santa rosa 64. we have 60 degrees in san francisco, a mid to upper 60s in and around brentwood, as well as livermore and 67 san jose. a look to the east bay where some of our warmer temperatures are at this time. 66 in lafayette, 65 right now, alamo, as well as pittsburg. as we get into tonight, clouds will be with us once again. here's a view of what's going on up above. even notice a little bit of moisture there bubbling up over the sierra. we have a system right off the coastline that is providing us with this cooler pattern. here it is going to finally move east, but then
4:12 pm
it's replaced by another system that brings in that possibility of even scattered showers. right now it looks like thursday night into friday. so for tomorrow, looking at temperatures very similar, just a tad cooler perhaps to start the morning. that should be a 50 degrees in antioch, not 550. giving you a look at oakland 50 as well as san francisco and pacifica as well as san mateo expected to start out right about 50 degrees into the afternoon, temperatures will be right about average for santa rosa. a little bit cool in livermore at 65, low 60. san francisco 64. in oakland. a better look at tomorrow and the extended forecast, including your weekend coming up. >> okay, rosemary. thank you. president biden celebrating a breakthrough. the long delayed legislation that he signed today to send a new round of foreign aid to several countries. >> and coming up this afternoon, we will talk with an expert about a provision in that foreign aid package that is set to force a ban on tiktok here in the u.s. if its chinese parent
4:13 pm
company n'n't sell
4:14 pm
4:15 pm
today, president biden. signed into law a major foreign aid package that will provide critical military assistance to ukraine as well as aid to israel and taiwan. the defense department will send $1 billion worth of military equipment to ukraine, including air defense systems, ammunition and armored vehicles as its aid. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky is grateful for. >> i want to thank you for such significant support, very important support to president biden, to congress. >> the bill also includes a provision that could ban chinese owned tiktok here in the u.s. lawmakers have national security concerns about the widely popular app, including how it's influenced by the chinese government and how it might be
4:16 pm
using americans data. the law requires the beijing based parent company of tiktok, bytedance, to sell its stake within nine months or face a nationwide ban. tiktok's ceo pushing back, promising a vigorous legal challenge. >> rest assured, we aren't going anywhere. we are confident and we will keep fighting for your rights in the courts. the facts and the constitution are on our side through our us data security efforts, we have built safeguards that no other peer company has made. we have invested billions of dollars to secure your data and keep our platform free from outside manipulation. >> all right. joining us now to talk more about the implications of this bill is nadine fareed johnson policy director at the knight first amendment institute at columbia university. thank you for taking the time today. obviously there is a long way to go before potentially tiktok would be banned here in the us. but i know you believe banning the app, the popular social
4:17 pm
media app in this country, would infringe on american's free speech rights. why do you believe this flies in the face of the first amendment? >> that's exactly right. thank you so much for having me. so this is really the wrong way to address these concerns about social media platforms practices, because it does undermine the first amendment, long standing supreme court precedent protects americans first amendment right to access information and ideas and media, including information, ideas and media from abroad, by banning tiktok. this bill infringes that right. >> okay, but you know the argument from critics, i want to read now what the democratic senator maria cantwell, who who chairs the senate commerce committee, said, quote, congress is acting to prevent foreign adversaries from conducting espionage, surveillance, maligned operations, harming vulnerable americans. our servicemen and women, and our u.s. government personnel. how do you respond to those concerns ? >> so the first thing i'll say is that, as you know, one of the major concerns about this app is
4:18 pm
the fact that china and other foreign adversaries could collect information about americans via their use of the app. but that same kind of information that tiktok collects can actually already be purchased and continue to be purchased by by foreign adversaries from data brokers on the open market. so this bill, the way it is situated right now, this ban actually wouldn't address those major privacy issues. and in terms of the of the additional concerns that the senator has noted right now, there is no publicly available information that demonstrates that the government's interest would is actually current and not speculative, that those harms are real and that the government's action in restricting this speech is actually narrowly tailored to address those harms. >> all right. so what do you think happens next here. obviously we're likely to see legal challenges here. do you see any chance at all that this forces the hand of bytedance. and they and they do agree to some sort of a sale. and what might such such a deal look like
4:19 pm
in your eyes. >> so i think you're right. the first thing we will probably see is a legal challenge. and that actually could stop the clock. so right now the clock is ticking. right now the bill is in law. the clock is ticking. but i do believe that we will see litigation quite, quite soon. you heard it from from the ceo of tiktok. other groups could could also seek to challenge the law. and so that could stop the clock. while those while those issues play out in court and turn the bigger question. china has to still agree to this sale, which is not something that that is a definitive, and we're looking here, as you noted, as a, as a nine month period. now that nine month period could be extended three additional months if, in fact, the president sees that there has been some progress made, but tbd is where they're actually going to take place. >> okay. we heard from the senator, who is obviously critical of tiktok, but there are some government officials, including president biden, who are on the app, and what do you what do you make of that when there is this public stance that
4:20 pm
tiktok is bad? and yet some american officials are on the app? >> it's a great question. it's something that that i have wondered myself. i mean, look, i think that it's actually demonstrative of the fact that this is an app that speaks to and is used by over 100 million american ones, who are engaging in speech and the speech that they wish to do on this, you know, via this platform. and so i think that there's, a lot of, a lot of effort that can be made by congress again, to address the issues that are that are underpinning this, without taking the drastic step of removing americans access to this app. yeah. >> i think that's what a lot of people involved in this are feeling like, is that there has to be some middle ground here to maybe to that end, i mean, we heard from the tiktok ceo and he continues to talk about how the company has built safeguards and put those in place to protect the data of u.s users here. what exactly is he referring to? have we seen evidence that that tiktok has made changes to better protect the data of
4:21 pm
american users? >> that's not something to which i am privy. i mean, i think when we're looking at it from a first amendment standpoint, what we're looking at here is that it's the government's burden to show that the efforts that they are taking when we're talking about restricting speech are, again, as as narrowly tailored as they as they could be in order to make that restriction on speech as limited as possible. right now, the government has not met that burden, in terms of demonstrating their their concerns are actually being addressed here. >> all right. well, we will have to wait and see. as you said, the clock is now ticking for tiktok. all right. really appreciate you coming on the show this afternoon. thanks again for your time. >> bye. all right. >> coming up this afternoon here on the for panda bears, slated to return to the san francisco zoo for the first time in nearly 40 years. but who will pick up the tab for the required enclosure? our christian captain will join us. ive with the details,
4:22 pm

4:24 pm
where? well, mayor london breed is now taking steps to ensure that an enclosure for the animals will be ready. ktvu christien kafton joining us now live from the san francisco zoo and christian, the mayor is looking to clear the way to raise money to pay for a new enclosure that you need to house the pandas. >> yeah, that's right, it's going to take a number of steps. the city says to get san francisco's zoo ready for the pandas. now, the city's mayor is taking the first steps to make sure that there's a place to
4:25 pm
stay for those pandas when they finally do arrive. we have some. it's been less than a week since san francisco's mayor, london breed, announced the city had signed a deal to bring giant pandas to the city. >> welcome pandas to san francisco. >> there are still a lot of hurdles to clear before the pandas can come to san francisco, including fundraising for a new home for the animals. now mayor london breed has introduced legislation to help pay for a new enclosure at san francisco's zoo. the new enclosure could cost close to $25 million. the mayor says that money will be raised through private donations, not tax dollars. but before she can reach out to philanthropists, the mayor said she had to introduce legislation that would temporarily lift restrictions on city leaders seeking private funds. the public private partnerships of raising private dollars to help with public projects can't happen unless you go through a process like this. the exact design of the enclosure hasn't been decided yet, but chinese officials will work with city leaders on the next steps. the mayor has said she'll work to make sure that
4:26 pm
the pandas have a safe and secure temporary home in san francisco, and that will cost money even when i'm having conversations and people are saying, oh, i want to help, right? >> so instantly there's a form that i would have to fill out, but i can't even do that unless i get permission to make the request. >> zoo visitors say they're already looking forward to the pandas arrival. >> i don't know too much about politics, but i love pandas and it would be nice because the children here, there's a lot of children and something to look forward to. coming to san francisco. >> we like to come to the zoo all the time. it's always excited to see the new animals and like the baby hippo. and we're looking forward to the new pandas coming to. >> at this point, there's no timeline on when the board of supervisors will decide whether or not to temporarily lift the restrictions on securing private donations to pay for the new panda enclosure, the city hoping those pandas will be here early next year, guys. >> all right, we'll just have to figure out how to pay for them. all right. >> christian, live at san
4:27 pm
francisco zoo. christian. thank you. >> okay, we are giving you an excuse to skip cooking dinner at home and support a great cause this week where you can participate in dining out for life tonight in san francisco
4:28 pm
4:29 pm
and donate. it's electric. it's great to see all your friends get together and have great food and great company to support a
4:30 pm
great cause. >> it is the annual dining out for life fundraising event in san francisco, a chance for you to enjoy fantastic restaurants in the city, with a portion of the sales going to help those impacted by hiv. and here with me now, live is eric jost of the san francisco aids foundation. the benefactor of tonight's fundraiser. thank you so much, eric, for being here. boy a lot of great restaurants participating once again this year. i mean, the restaurant community really embraces this idea. >> yeah, absolutely. thank you. heather. know, we not only appreciate the restaurants giving back to san francisco aids foundation and all the work we do, but we also this is our 21st year of partnering with local restaurants around the city who have been great partners. and this year, i'm delighted to say that we have 37 participating restaurants, three of which are donating 100% of their proceeds to the foundation. >> i mean, it really is great this is a one day fundraiser, so it's just 430 in the afternoon. so if you don't have plans later on this evening, there is still time for you to take part. and
4:31 pm
really, eric, it's so easy for diners. i mean, they don't really need to do anything. >> no. absolutely not. that is this is my favorite fundraising event that we do. all you have to do is show up at one of our restaurants, which you can find on the dining out for life website. just show up or make a reservation. and at least 25% of your bill will go to the restaurant, all while you're supporting the local restaurant community. >> yeah, and like i said, there are some really great restaurants who are participating, so be sure to check them out. as eric said, 37 of them this year. how helpful are the funds raised today and throughout the evening for the san francisco aids foundation? >> i mean, they are incredibly helpful. last year, this fundraiser raised $110,000. and this goes to crucial, sexual health services, substance use services, and community engagement programs at sf locations across the city. and we serve 27,000 people a year. i mean, your services, your programs are so wide ranging and far reaching. >> the foundation has been around for more than 40 years. how has your mission changed
4:32 pm
over that time, and what are some of the biggest challenges today? >> well, i think number one, the biggest way it changes the face of aids has changed. you know, back in the 80s, this was a disease that was predominantly affecting gay men. and now we see other communities have made strides in decreasing hiv transmissions. but we also see disparities continue to remain among people who use drugs, communities of color. and so really, our approach to combating hiv has shifted as the disease has shifted. now, we mentioned that dining out for life is taking place tonight in san francisco, you know, today and this evening in san francisco. >> but it's really a nationwide event. i looked on the website, and, i mean, you've got states all across the country participating at various times throughout the year. >> yes. so pre pre pandemic, everyone participated on the exact same day. but since then, each organization has been given a little bit more grace. and so
4:33 pm
there are dining out for life events, throughout california, throughout the rest of the us and even into canada. so regardless of whether you live here in the bay area or la or somewhere else, you will find a dining out for life for you. >> yeah, and it's really easy, folks. you can just go on that website, you can click the state. maybe you're going to be traveling later, visiting a place, and they're still a way for you to participate, eric, really appreciate you coming on. and what is your message to those at home who might be thinking, you know, i'm just too lazy to cook tonight? >> well, that is the great thing. is that many of our restaurant partners also out offer, carry out and delivery service. so even if you don't want to show up in person, you can still engage from the comfort of your own home. >> i like that idea. dining out for life, folks. it is happening throughout the rest of the evening. more than 35 restaurants participating, and again, the funds going to the san francisco aids foundation, which does so much great work here in the bay area. eric, appreciate it. thanks so much. >> thank you heather, have a good day. >> you too. >> the most effective way to
4:34 pm
fight cancer is early diagnosis. according to the national institutes of health, delaying cancer care by as little as six weeks can decrease the patient's survival by up to 13. but when it comes to lung cancer, one small robot could make a huge difference in speeding up diagnoses of the disease. fox's ted lindner takes a closer look at a new robot could help combat the deadliest cancer in the country. >> the national cancer institute estimates about 125,000 people in the u.s. will die from lung cancer this year, with doctors citing how early detection is key to saving lives. california medical experts are unveiling a new robot they say can help provide faster and safer diagnoses. >> one of the main things that people can get when they get a ct scan of their lungs that shows up, is a spot on their lungs, called a nodule. >> the presence of nodules can send patients in a panic with many worrying they could be a sign of cancer. but some nodules are too small or hard to reach
4:35 pm
for doctors to analyze. >> so this tool allows us to go after almost any nodule in the lung to try to provide patients with diagnostic certainty. when we can give patients diagnoses, we can alleviate some of their anxiety and or we can make treatment decisions. >> the robot goes down the patient's throat to reach the lungs. in a less invasive operation, the small device then travels through the maze of branches in the lungs, letting doctors see what's inside. with help from a virtual map of the organs created from a ct scan and so this allows us to one get to the nodules that radiology could not otherwise get to two biopsy nodules from the inside, which which has a much lower risk of lung collapse. doctors have already used the bot on three patients, and hope the tool provides results and peace of mind for many more in the future. ted lindner, fox news up next this afternoon here on the four, uc berkeley is celebrating
4:36 pm
four freshly hatched peregrine falcons. >> today. those chicks made their debut on the big screen at bampfa. and up next we will chat live with one of the cal falcon biologists about the latest additions to this beloved bird family. and we'll talk about the party that's happening right now on campus and across the bay area this afternoon. >> partly sunny conditions with only subtle changes expected for tomorrow. i'll have a look at what you can expect for tomorrow and the
4:37 pm
we're in the middle of... livin' large! and having a big day! the meeting point of humanity and history. in the middle of being the fun uncle! in the middle of being a kid again! beep! beep! ♪ there's something for everyone in illinois. the middle of everything! ♪
4:38 pm
4:39 pm
campanile, where just a short time ago, a fourth peregrine falcon chick pecked their way into the world. this is a live look at cal's falcon cam, where the public has been able to watch these eggs hatch over the past month. the mother of these four chicks, annie, has been a longtime fixture at the top of the campanile. their father, archie, has been going out to hunt and bringing meals back to help feed the newborn chicks. and for more on the new arrivals, we are joined this afternoon by sean peterson and ecologist with cal falcons sean, it is good to see you. this is really an exciting time here. how are the newborn chicks doing ? >> yeah, it's really exciting, you know, this is like the culmination of tons of conservation effort to bring
4:40 pm
these falcons back from the brink of extinction and to have four new chicks this year is just so wonderful to see, and annie has never hatched a full clutch of four before, so four chicks before. so this is a really exciting time for her. >> yeah, that is interesting to point out here. this is the first time that all of annie's eggs have actually hatched. what do you think might have been different this time around? >> so there's any number of reasons why we think that might occur. i mean, it could just be random chance, but it could also be some environmental factor, there could be some sort of kind of environmental toxin or something or something about annie's kind of biology that has prevented the full clutch before , but whatever, that in the past doesn't happen this year. and we've had all four arrive. >> yeah. and that's great news. so talk about what what happens from here. what are the roles for annie and for archie right now with these four new chicks? who who does what?
4:41 pm
>> yeah. so, they actually really do kind of split up their, their care duties, annie is going to spend most of her time kind of incubating the chicks, keeping them warm. they, are unable to kind of keep, keep temperature up until they're about ten days old. so they rely on her to stay warm, and then archie is out doing all the hunting, he is, in just bringing home the home, the pigeon. so he'll be out there catching pigeons, and annie will be there feeding the chicks and making sure that they're safe. >> and i understand that over the past month, as these eggs have been hatching, archie has been really heavily involved in helping the eggs to hatch and tending to the nasties. some people have described him as being a really hands on dad here. how have you seen him embrace this role? >> yeah, it's been really fun because he's he's new to this nest and new to us. and so it's really fun to see the behavior and kind of that personality
4:42 pm
come out, and he's been very attentive, very good parent so far, bringing, bringing the chicks food. bringing annie food, he he's a very chatty. he likes to talk, so whenever he's hanging out with annie, he just kind of quietly talks to her, which we knew what they were saying, but we. >> but he has to have that ability yet. yeah. all right. >> so. yes. so they have to stay really close to the nest for, for at least the next ten days. >> you said. but when ultimately when, when will these new peregrine falcons be able to take flight for the first time. >> yeah. so about the first week of june is when we're expecting the first, and that can take, you know, a good week or so for all the chicks to decide to fly, and they take a bit of time to hang out around the turn to fly on their own. it's a bit of a period called flight school, where they will be following their parents around and,
4:43 pm
they'll be learning how to hunt from their parents. and it's a really fun time for them to learn that behavior. >> yeah, that that'll be exciting to see them leave the nest and take flight for the first time. all right. so, sean, as we wrap up here, obviously the other important aspect of all this is what are we going to call these new peregrine falcons. how are we going to figure out what their names will be. >> yeah, it's whenever we band the chicks, we ask the public for name suggestions. and so, we are really, in about three weeks or so when we band people suggestions and then holding a public vote. and i'm just always so excited to see what people come up with. everyone is so creative and has such ideas. i can't wait to see what people think of this year. >> yeah, no, they always come back with some really wonderful names. they have when you've done the contest before. well, congratulate us, i'm going to pass along. congratulations to you. because you're involved in the process as well here. but, really exciting time on the uc berkeley campus for new

my dry eye's made me a burning, stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya. it's not another drop. it's the first and only nasal spray for dry eye.
4:55 pm
tyrvaya treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease fast by helping your body produce its own real tears. common side effects include sneezing, cough, and throat and nose irritation. relying only on drops? not me. my own real tears are my relief. ask your eye doctor about tyrvaya. pasteurized milk, but it says it believes the milk is still safe

to drink, according to the fda. the viral particles were detected by highly sensitive lab tests and are likely to have been remnants of viruses killed during the pasteurized process. this all comes nearly a month after an avian influenza virus was detected in dairy cows in at least eight states. >> well, now we go to new york tonight, where lawmakers there are pushing a bill that would force large companies to reduce their plastic packaging. >> and as you might imagine, the food and toy industries are raising concerns. fox's jeff flock reports now from philadelphia. >> product packaging these days, you can't almost buy anything without it. and some of the packaging more robust than others. if you've ever bought kraft individually wrapped singles, you know there's about as much plastic here as there is cheese. but this plastic is winding up increasingly in landfills and states trying to do something about that. new york, the latest considering a bill called the packaging reduction and recycling infrastructure act. it applies just to big companies with a million or so in sales each
4:57 pm
year. and it would force the companies to cut packaging winding up in landfills by 50% over the next 12 years or so. and they would also have to help pay for recycling. it is what's called an extended product responsibility law. 33 states already have such laws applying to specific products like batteries, electronics, motor oil, things that are hard to recycle. now, four states california, colorado, maine and oregon are passing these laws to pertain to packaging. and multiple other states, including now new york, are considering such a bill. the toy industry says it is going to be most hard hit by this, because a lot of the toys are packed in plastic, and not least among these barbie, which perhaps you can see in addition to being plastic. she's packaged in a lot of plastic. the toy industry says there's reason for all of this packaging to protect the products and protect consumers. but if this bill passes, it's definitely going to cost more money for you.
4:58 pm
>> all of that translate into increased costs for companies, either in transit of the product, the quality of the product, returns of the product, all of which in my mind mean that eventually prices are going to go up across the board for products. >> other critics point out that manufacturers already have plenty of incentive to reduce packaging as much as they can, and they point out that in, say, the case of the kraft singles, the reason for the packaging is both safety as well as convenience. >> if this goes through, we're just not going to see as much sliced cheese. we're going to have to do a lot more slicing of cheese ourselves. the price will be higher. what are we achieving by this really intrusive ban and restrictions on plastics? and i would argue we're achieving very, very little. >> do you ever buy a pair of scissors, get it home and realize that in order to open it, you need a pair of scissors. complex problem out there. not one that is likely easily solved. i'm jeff flock with the

stop doing business with israel or any companies that support its ongoing war in gaza. the movement has taken on new strains as the israel-hamas war surpasses the six month mark and stories of suffering in gaza have sparked international calls for a cease fire. >> i think that the most important part is that we stay respectful. we recognize that everybody has different experiences, different connections to the region. >> i would watch what was going on on college campuses, and i would see people shouting not for peace. they were shouting for the destruction of israel. they were shouting for an intifada. they were shouting for the death of the zionist. >> inspired by ongoing protests and the arrest last week of more than 100 students at columbia university, students from massachusetts to california are now gathering by the hundreds on campuses. they're setting up tents, pledging to stay put there until their demands are met. some school canceled. some schools are canceling classes as those demonstrations takela
